The present invention also relates to a process for preparing these compounds and to the preparation of dye compositions for keratinic fibers and in particular for living human hair containing said compounds. It will be appreciated that the above compounds can be present under tautomeric forms of that which is represented by formula (I).

and when R₅ designates an amino, alkylamino, hydroxyalkylamino, or carbamylalklamino, the formula ##STR4## wherein R₁ to R₆ have the meanings given above and R represents hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, or carbamylalkyl.

The compounds of formula (I) can be prepared by condensing a compound of the formula ##STR5## wherein Z represents NH₂, or NO when R₁ is in meta position relative to the --NR₂ R₃ group, on a phenolic compound of the formula ##STR6## wherein R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄, R₅ and R₆ have the meanings given above, or the meanings given on page 7.

In a first method of preparation, when Z represents NH₂, one condenses the phenolic compound of formula (III) on a paraphenylenediamine of the formula ##STR7## wherein R₁, R₂ and R₃ have the meanings given above in an aqueous alkaline medium, in a hydroalcoholic medium, preferably hydroethanolic or hydroisopropanolic or in a hydroacetonic medium having a pH greater than 8 in the presence of an oxidizing agent and at a temperature of about 0° C.

The ratio of the phenolic compound to the paraphenylenediamine is between about 1:1 and 2:2, this ratio generally being about 1:1.

The oxidizing agent usefully employed in this condensation reaction can be, for example, H₂ O₂, an alkaline persulfate, for example, the persulfate of potassium or ammonium, an alkaline ferricyanide, for example potassium ferricyanide. The quantity of the oxidizing agent employed can vary from 1-5 times preferably 1-3 times the stoichiometric amount required for oxidizing the p-phenylenediamine to a quinone diimine.

In a second method of the present invention, when Z represents NO, one condenses the phenolic compound of formula (III) on a nitroso derivative of formula (V) ##STR8## wherein R₁, R₂ and R₃ have the meanings given above. This condensation reaction is effected in an aqueous or hydroalcoholic medium preferably a hydroethanolic or a hydroisopropanolic medium at a temperature between about 30° and 60° C., and preferably between 40° and 55° C.

Representative nitroso compounds that can usefully be employed include, 4-nitroso-N,N-dibutylaniline, 3-chloro-4-nitroso diethylaniline and 3-methoxy-4-nitroso-N,N-dimethylaniline.

The pH of the compositions can vary to a large extent. It is generally between about 4 to 11 and preferably between 6.5 and 10.5 and advantageously between 7 and 9.

One can adjust the pH of the composition with an alkalizing agent for example, ammonia, mono-, di- or triethanolamine, trisodium or disodium phosphate, sodium or potassium carbonate or with an acidifying agent for example, acetic acid, lactic acid, phosphoric acid, or citric acid.

The dyeing of keratinic fibers, in particular, living human hair, with the dye compositions according to the present invention can be effected in a conventional manner by applying the composition to the fibers to be dyed, permitting said composition to remain in contact therewith for a period varying from 5 to 30 minutes, followed by rinsing and eventually washing and drying the fibers.
